3dmark won't launch after I installed Windows 10

[opio]

I installed Windows 10, now 3dmark won't launch. When I go into Steam and click launch a small window pops up for 1/10 of a second and goes away and that's it. It just won't launch. The same thing happens when I click the start menu in the lower right corner of the screen and click settings. A window pops up for a small fraction of a second and goes away. If anybody could help me I'd be extremely appreciative.

Reinstall? Anyway does the software compatible with win to begin with? No patch from futuremark themselves for win10 update?

I've reinstalled 3dmark and I've reinstalled the drivers. It still won't work. Yes, 3dmark is compatible with windows 10 to begin with.

So they work in preview build?

yes, 3dmark even has a test that uses directX 12 that they included for people with the preview, I just don't know what the problem is. It just won't launch

Probably direct report need to be made to futuremark

I got about the same problem. Also all lego games the kids play stopped working. If I go into NVIDIA control panel and "force" the lego games and 3dmark to use the "intel integrated graphics", then the games work flawlessly. Got an old i5 + NVIDIA 420M. Lego games worked flawlessly on win7. Did not try 3dmark on win7 but a fair guess is that it worked there also...

I had a problem with 3d mark on win10, giving me an error about being unable to access a log file. i had to change security permissions on the 3d mark folder in "documents" which fixed the problem. Also, run steam as an admin, quite a few steam apps no longer work in win 10 unless run as admin

I found out how to fix it, it wasn't starting for me because I was running msi afterburner, turn off msi afterburner if you're using it. Oddly enough it still works if I use EVGA precision.
